Sixth Surprise — Mary Abshire

Andrew's days on Earth are dwindling. He delays searching for the demon he must destroy so he can spend more time with the woman his heart yearns for. Eager to please Emily, he rents a house on a beach. He savors every minute in her loving embrace. When she confirms she is carrying his child, life seems almost perfect.

Emily's emotions are out of control. She struggles to deal with losing Andrew in the future and having to raise their child alone in a world filled with violence and evil. Adding to her stress, a man shows up on their doorstep and asks for Andrew. He is an enforcer, sent to ensure those from heaven fulfill the terms of their sentence. Although he's from the kingdom above, Emily doesn't trust him.

As if the demon lurking under the façade of a priest isn't enough of a surprise, the enforcer takes Emily hostage, almost knocks her unconscious, and threatens more harm if Andrew doesn't kill the priest in two days. Andrew fears for Emily's safety and his unborn child's. He must find a way to destroy the demon, but once he succeeds the clock will start ticking for his return to heaven.
